Cooking a Brisket

Brisket is a cut of meat that can’t be rushed. It is very fibrous and tough, so a low and slow cooking is a must. With pressure cooking it helps speed up the cook time drastically.

You cook under such pressure it helps break down the brisket a lot faster. The natural release is where you will find it tenderizes the meat even more. So you end up with a flavorful, tender brisket!

How to Cut Brisket

Cutting brisket is easy and if you learn the right way it will help maximize the tenderness of your meat.

Cutting against the grain helps to cut through the fibers and leaves you with tender meat. If you don’t cut the proper way you will end up with a very tough and chewy brisket.

This is one slab of meat that does have a specific way to cut for maximum results.

I have been making my stepmom’s brisket pot roast with onion soup mix for almost 20 years…today I decided to try and cook it in the IP, and I found your recipe as a guide! This came out great! The only thing I would do different is maybe cook a bit longer, I did 75 minutes and the middle was still a little tough. Tasty though for sure! Thank you for helping me switch from my 5 hour process to a quicker one!!!
